Recently, I got bored and decided to go down the rabbit hole of
defunct Bo-bobo websites (again, I should say) to see what kind of
stuff I could find. During that, I stumbled across an old
Livejournal fan group (which is a community blogging-type site)
called "it's written as 'tears of the hair'". The archived page had
posts from 2006 and 2007, and it was interesting to see people
reacting to events of the manga and anime's US localization as they
happened, such as a few posts talking about the Illumitoon
Entertainment DVDs. However, the web capture hadn't saved much, so
I decided to see if this Livejournal was even still around... And
lo and behold, it was.

With the last post on the Livejournal being about Yoshio Sawai's
"new" manga, Chage…

Yep, I actually went and did it! After a long battle with
figuring out how buying things from overseas places like Japan
works, and then of course ordering it and waiting a week, it has
arrived! I haven't had enough time to really begin mining the
information out of it just yet since it is all in Japanese, but
I'll start adding the info I find as soon as I can. The book also
has an interview of Yoshio Sawai that looks pretty interesting, as
well as Sawai's debut manga, Little Devil Koron. I'm wondering if I
should try to scan that and translate it or something, since I
haven't seen it anywhere else before... Anyways, that's about
it.

Oh, and also I've started ripping some of the sprites for
Bo-bobo Ougi 87.5; namely the battle ones. I haven…

Now, if you read my last blog, you'll know of the abismal
ammount of effort that was put into localizing/distributing the
Bo-bobo manga in America. While the manga's failure was due in part
of Viz Media not feeling like it was worth trying to begin with,
the Anime is a much different story...

The english dub of the Bo-bobo anime began airing on Cartoon
Network's Toonami block in 2007. Despite the fact quite a few gags
were either changed or entirely cut due to children's TV
regulations, the english dub (by Phuuz Entertainment) still did an
excellent job at capturing the insane wacky humor of the original
Japanese version. While it was still relatively unpopular in
comparison to other anime airing on the Toonami block at the time,
it gained a…

Now for the actual blog. It's nothing special really, I've just
been doing some research on the distribution of the Bo-bobo series
in America (because why not). And, If you don't know much about it,
well... How do I put this... It was TERRIBLE. Like, reallyreally bad. "What was so bad about it?" You (probably) say?
(maybe??)

Well, in late 2005, when the run of the original Bo-bobo manga
in Japan's 'Weekly Shonen Jump' ended, Viz Media (a North American
publishing company) released a one-shot style manga book. This book
containe…

Ever since I joined up with this Wiki, I have completed the
episode scripts to Episodes 2 to 5. In addition to that, I have
also done the recap and preview for Episode 6, and am working on
the script. It may take a day or two to a week for me to finish the
episode, based on the Bo-bobo Box Set.

In addition, I have also done recaps seen on the following
episodes: 7, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, 31, and my personal
favorite (which I also added the preview on), Episode 32!

I encourage all who own the 38-Episode Uncut Box Set to
contribute as much as you can. And those who don't have the DVD,
you must buy it off Amazon.com, or any other retailer!
